VPS-16: 6 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 320 GB SSD

VPS-16 is the top of the Standard line. It suits a database whose working set has outgrown 8 GB, or a machine running several production applications that each want a couple of gigabytes. Above this, the honest next step is Dedicated CPU or a whole machine rather than more shared cores.

Configure and deploy

Region and image are chosen on the configurator, and the price does not change with either.

Scope

What the price covers, and what it does not.

VPS-16 is a self-managed server. The list on the right is not a gap we intend to fill later — it is the other product.

In the price

Full root access on a KVM virtual machine with its own kernel
One dedicated IPv4 for the life of the server
SSD storage on every size, named on the plan (NVMe where the supplier states it)
Browser console straight to the machine for when SSH is the thing that broke
Rebuild onto any image in about a minute, keeping the same IP address

Not in the price

Nobody patches the operating system but you — this is a self-managed server
No Windows images: every image we ship is Linux
We do not resell control panel licences (cPanel, Plesk or otherwise)
No snapshots or size changes from the panel yet: changing size is a support request, and a copy before a risky change is yours to take
No private networking between servers: traffic between two of your own servers uses their public addresses
Regions cannot be changed in place; moving means a new server and a DNS cutover
Prepaid terms are not pro-rated if you destroy the server early

Suited to

Where VPS-16 is the right size.

Six cores, 16 GB, 320 GB of SSD: the largest shared-core plan we sell.

A database that wants to stay in memory: 16 GB lets a mid-sized PostgreSQL or MySQL working set live in RAM, which matters more to query latency than core count does.
Several production applications: Three or four services with their own runtimes and databases, sized so none of them starves the others.
An analytics or reporting box: Batch work that runs hard for minutes and then idles — exactly the shape shared cores are good at.

Line

VPS-16 sits on the Standard line. Cores on this line are shared with other tenants on the same host. Bursts are quick; an hour pinned at 100% is not something a shared core can promise.

Questions

About VPS-16 specifically.

These are the questions this plan actually gets, answered without the marketing round-off.

What is above VPS-16?

DC-32 if you need cores that are never shared, or a dedicated server if you want the whole machine. We would rather point you at the right one than sell you a bigger shared instance that still has a neighbour.

Do I get more cores by paying for more RAM?

Only in the shapes we publish. Sizes are fixed rather than sliders, so the ratio of cores to memory is decided for you — which is also why there is no way to accidentally buy 16 GB with one core.

Other sizes

If this one is not quite the shape.
